Industry challenges
Commenting on the appointments and the challenges facing Irish engineering and construction firms, PJ Rubdden, Managing Director, ACL, said, “Ireland is now challenged to build at greater scale with a lower carbon footprint, using more sustainable materials and producing less waste. In addition, we continue to have significant skill shortages, particularly in the newer digital and modern methods of construction, including off-site manufacturing skills.
“To meet the current significant infrastructural deficit in Ireland, many new projects need to be delivered in the National Development Plan 2021 -2030 and the Climate Action Plan 2023. A wider national ambition is Project Ireland 2040 to accommodate another one million people living on our island by 2040.”
